Now, that we have an understanding of the VR landscape, let's jump into the world of 360 video. 360 video, which you also might hear called immersive film or VR video, is one piece of the immersive spectrum. Like VR games and other interactive experiences, it's intended to be viewed in VR headsets. But it can also be viewed on flat screen devices like your phone or computer, where you drag the viewpoint using a mouse or your finger. Unlike VR video games which use computer generated characters and environments, 360 videos are made by capturing live action in the real world with 360 cameras, like this one. 360 video differs from 2D video in that it presents an entire 360-degree view of the world rather than just one part. This presents unique opportunities and obstacles, we'll discuss at greater length in the next module.
